Food Shipments

The following is directed to the United Kingdom and the United States

The Kingdom of the Netherlands would humbly yet urgently request the shipment of additional grain and other foodstuffs to the Netherlands to alleviate the shortages. Due to the mining of the North Sea and the risk of submarines, we have been unable to procure sufficient stores ourselves, and are now suffering from significant shortages. These play into the hands of both reactionary but also bolshevik elements which would seek to destabilise our kingdom.

Kaiser Wilhelm II

The following is directed to France and Belgium, as well as the abovementioned

The German Emperor's request for asylum in the Netherlands has been denied. He has been placed under strict military custody, awaiting judgement. We would wish to avoid inciting conflict between ourselves, given our position of neutrality, but cannot ignore the crimes against the people of the world that he holds responsibility for. Should you agree to a destination, we may be amenable to an extradition request. Failing such a request, he will await trial in the Hague.
